ICal suggestion

I would like to make a suggestion to iCal.
in Month View of Calendar, there is no Weeks of the year.
For example, November 17th~23rd is the 42nd week of the year.
Can Apple add this info at the side of Calendar?
Much obliged.

ICal bug: cannot copy/paste into location field of exchange 2007 calendar

when you copy text from any application (cmd C) and then try to paste it into de location field of a new or existing appointment of a calendar synchronizing with an exchange 2007 account in iCal 4.0, then .... well nothing happens. You can paste it in a subject or a notes field but not in de location field.

My experience as well (hooked into google calendar), and a frustrating one. I assume this is related in some way to the "yellow exclamation point in edit mode - can only select entire block"? I see that normal "on my mac" calendar locations don't have the yellow exclamation point, and I can select any portion of the text. What's up with this? Is iCal suggesting that google's "Where" field is incompatible somehow? Yet there seems to be no trouble exchanging data between the two...

Sync with both Mac os 10.4 AND Windows XP at the same time?

After much research AND much frustration with my Moto Q... I have decided on a Palm Centro (the prodical is returning home --- i used to use Palm all the time)
Here is my one question... I use Outlook on my computer at work (XP - office suite) and I can use Palm Desktop (or iCal) on my Mac at home (10.4)
Is it possible to setup the palm to sync with outlook at work and either iCal or Palm Desktop at home so that the same calendar, tasks, contacts, are on work comp, home comp and Centro at the same time? will i make something blow up? I am just trying to get prepped for when I am able to get the centro (8 days and counting).
If nothing else... I haven't been syncing to the Mac at home with the Moto Q and so I am really not 'out' anything... just wanted to know if it could be done?
anyone out there doing this?
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

yeah... i was thinking Cabled sync. I just want to be able to make changes at work on outlook, sync them with my centro, take my centro home, and sync it with my mac (using palm desktop OR iCal -- suggestions?!) and have the information the same in both places!
I am wondering if the centro, unlike my iPod, will allow me to sync in two places (not at the same time) and possibly even with different software (outlook and palm)
Thanks!

In ical I just added new calendars to a pre-existing calendar group, I can make events with these calendars, but not reminders, any suggestions?

Hi,
Lion has changed the way reminders (todos as was) work. They now seem to need to be in a seperate calendar.
In iCal open the File menu and select New Reminder List... and select where to put it.

How do I get iCal to sync to my iphone 4. It used to work and now it won't. Any suggestions will be most appreciated.

How do I get iCal on my Mac to sync with my iphone 4.
It used to work and now it doesn't.
I am not on MobileMe or the Cloud.
Any suggestions will be most appreciated.

Hi Arezzo
I'm asuming you are using iTunes then to sync? this can be done over WiFi or the USB cable.
Review your setting for the calendar sync once iTunes is open and your iPhone is connected. Make sure your Calendars are selected to sync that you need. By default all calendars will.
So the option i have for you is to reset the sync service and this will reset those settings in iTunes. Meaning that you will have to switch them on again in iTunes to sync. But this mostly clears unresolved sync issues.
Please do yourself a favour and hit backup in iTunes before doing any testing. iTunes will then keep a local backup of your iPhone in case of any data loss.
{added}
open Terminal from your Utilities folder and paste this command in to reset. OS X 10.6 - 10.8
/System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsync .pl full [press Enter]
if it prompts for a password, just type your password and hit [Enter] again.
Open iTunes then set your syncs up and it should then carry on again.

I received the error (in iCal on my mac) : "The server responded with an error" while creating an event. I can't delete or acknowledge this error and now iCal is frozen. Any suggestions?

I received the error (in iCal on my iMac): "The server responded with an error". The error message is very large, and if there is a way to acknowledge and close it I can't find it. Because this error message is open, I can't do anything in iCal. Any suggestions on how I could kill this error message? Thanks.

did you find ou how to get rid of it i can't

I installed Lion on my MacBook Pro. I installed iOS5 on my iPad and iPhone4S. I have activated iCloud on all three devices. The Calendar changes are moving between the iPad and iPhone4S but NOT showing up in iCal on the MacBook Pro. Any suggestions?

Help. I have double checked everything I and my husband can think of. I need to be able to print out my daily agenda and I can only do that from the MacBook Pro. And of course it is the devise that is not getting the updated iCal data. Any suggestions?

Levi G B ... Also found another thread by Davidfromsurfside on 10/14/11 0703A with the same problem. I responded on his thread "I have the same problem. IOS5 on iPad1, iPad2 and iPhone4S all with iCloud on. Lion 10.7.2 installed on my MacBookPro and iCloud set up/on. Any new iCal entry on either iPad or on the iPhone ends up via iCloud on both iPads and iPhone. BUT NOT ON THE MacBookPro. And iCal entry on the MacBookPro does NOT GET SENT to iCloud.com or to either iPad or the iPhone. This is a huge problem for me because I do all my office scheduling on the iPad or iPhone but rely on the MakeBookPro to print out daily client lists. I REALLY need to get this fixed...it is causing major business issues. " No one so far has had a fix.... :(

New events in iCal are entered on my iMac. These events pass through correctly to my other computers and iPhone. However, each new event shows up twice on my iPads. The clutter is distracting. Anyone have suggestion as to correcting this annoyance?

Have thunderbolt and need to sync ical with google calendar in order to use. Any suggestions?

Have a thunderbolt and MacBook. Need to sync ical with google calendar as thunderbolt supports google calendar. Any suggestions?

I think we may be talking about two different things. Thunderbolt is the new two way display port on Mac Book Pros and Apple displays.
Thunderbolt (originally codenamed Light Peak) is an interface for connecting peripheral devices to a computer via an expansion bus. Thunderbolt was developed by Intel and brought to market with technical collaboration from Apple Inc. It was introduced commercially on Apple's updated MacBook Pro lineup on February 24, 2011.
Thunderbolt combines PCI Express and DisplayPort into a serial data interface. A single Thunderbolt port supports hubs as well as a daisy chain of up to seven Thunderbolt devices; up to two of these devices may be high-resolution displays using DisplayPort. You can move data to and from peripherals up to 20 times faster than with USB 2.0 and up to 12 times faster than with FireWire 800.

Upgraded my iPad to v 5.0.1 and can find no way to add an event to iCal. There are no longer any " " signs and tapping on the calendar doesn't do anything except turn the page. Any suggestions? It worked fine before the upgrade.

iCal was working fine before upgrading to v. 5.0.1 on my iPad. All the events from my iCloud account have disappeared and I cannot find a way to add a new event. No "+" sign, tapping doesn't work. I've tried everything I can think of. Any suggestions?

Peggy,
Go to iPad>Settings>iCloud, and turn Calendars "Off." Then after waiting a couple of minutes turn Calendars back "On."
You may also want to try using the solution posted by bodunrin in this thread: After update to iOS 5 my iPad-1 can't...: Apple Support Communities. You may also want to try some of the other suggestions listed in that thread.

Does anyone have a suggestion for an alternative to iCal that will interface with the Cloud? I find iCal to be poorly designed and not very efficient.

Does anyone have a suggestion for an alternative to iCal that will interface with the Cloud so it works on the iPhone and the Macbook? I find iCal to be poorly designed and not very efficient. I waste a lot of time entering information because you can't go to a specific day and enter information, nor can you navigate between months and add information on a specific date by clicking on the date. You can't easily scroll month-to-month and once you do by scrolling through nine months to get to where you want to be, you cannot enter information by clicking on a specific day in the month and entering information. I just called Apple and they verified that this is the way it works. You cannot go to a date and enter information, you keep getting thrown back to today and then you have to go into the calendar and change it manually on the screen. It is just not efficient.

APC, CyberPower are reliable.
Look for 1500VA. As example:

I'd sure like to have iCal back. Any suggestions?

Earlier this week a number of threads were posted by those of us whose iCal suddenly began crashing a few seconds after it was launched. I haven't read any posts by anyone who seems to have solved the problem. I'm still hoping someone might have some suggestions.
I'm using a G4 with OS 10.4.11 to create my calendars and syncing an iTouch using MobleMe. The MM and iTouch calendars are intact. I was able to keep iCal open long enough to create a recent backup.
I'd like to try these instructions from MadisonP which I've read in answer to several other questions about restoring iCal:
Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
But I have some questions:
Do I remove the entire "Caches" folder from my "Library" folder? Or should only the "com.apple.iCal" folder be deleted? There are dozens of other folders in the Caches folder from various applications.
My Home > Library > Calendars folder is empty--no Calendar Cache, Cache, or Cache 1,2,3. . . Should there be something there to remove?
I all else fails, I'd like to delete iCal and reinstall it, then use MM or my backup to restore it. But I'm not sure how to reinstall just that application. Any help with that would be appreciated. Thanks.

But I have some questions:
Do I remove the entire "Caches" folder from my "Library" folder? Or should only the "com.apple.iCal" folder be deleted? There are dozens of other folders in the Caches folder from various applications.
__The Caches folder is a dumping ground for temporary files used by pretty much every program on the computer. When you remove that folder and then restart your computer that folder is re-generated automatically. As you launch each program they will generate a new cache file for their use. There is no harm done by removing the entire caches folder. If you like you can selectively remove the caches pertaining to iCal, HOWEVER, there may be caches within the Caches folder not labeled "iCal" that still are used by iCal. I pull the whole folder to save guess work as it is non-distructive. That said don't go pulling the Caches for fun. They allow the various programs on the computer to run faster. After pulling Caches some programs will launch more slowly the first time. They will be back to normal on subsequent launches. Only pull the Caches folder when you are having issues...like now
My Home > Library > Calendars folder is empty--no Calendar Cache, Cache, or Cache 1,2,3. . . Should there be something there to remove?
Your running 10.4...you shouldn't have a Home > Library > Calendars folder at all as a matter of fact. In 10.4 and earlier the iCal database was stored in Home > Library > ApplicationSupport > iCal.
Not sure where that "Calendar" folder came from but it is not part of iCal if you are indeed running 10.4.11.
Check out Home > Library > ApplicationSupport > iCal. I don't recall if there was a cache file in iCal under 10.4. If there is one here you can remove it. Otherwise don't remove anything from this directory.
I all else fails, I'd like to delete iCal and reinstall it, then use MM or my backup to restore it. But I'm not sure how to reinstall just that application. Any help with that would be appreciated. Thanks.
Before going through the trouble of reinstalling the program make sure it is actually the program at fault. If you login as a new user on the computer, does iCal work? If so then the iCal program is fine. There is something in your user account that is causing iCal to malfunction.
Let me know if following those steps you mentioned takes care of it...or if not
Cheers.

A bug and some suggestions to return to old ways of doing things in ical

hi there when i first started using ical i could double click an event to edit it and press enter when finished
now i have to press apple E and click done when finished - with hundreds of events its painful
any ideas apart from someone at apple making it how it used to be which would be cool
also a bug if i set a calender to an event and another calender to another event and cut both events selected together at the same time when i paste the events they are both now in the same calender
which means if i have 40 events in one day in 30 different calenders I have to move them forward in my diary one by one also very painful
finally a cool suggestion to ical why not have a feature which collected all old events from a particular calender and stuck them all in the current day! cool or what

Can't seem to sync my phone with iCal because I get a message that says:No writable calendar. I tried the suggestions I found in Help including a Terminal command to no avail.

Can't seem to sync my phone with iCal because I get a message that says:No writable calendar. I tried the suggestions I found in Help including a Terminal command to no avail.

I can only suggest you now need to somehow link your mobile to sync with the new calendar 'On my Mac'.
I have a work Blackberry whose calendar I sync with an iCal calendar 'On my Mac' using a usb lead and the Blackberry Desktop Manager for Mac. This free piece of software from Blackberry, automatically starts up as soon as I connect the usb to the iMac and it then prompts me to select which calendar 'On the iMac', which is writable, that I want my Blackberry to sync to.
